SMOKES VS. TEETH

More bad news for smokers. A 30-year study carried out at Tufts University in Boston found that chain smokers are twice as likely to lose their teeth as non-smokers. The research found that smokers lost an average of 2.9 teeth after 10 years of smoking a pack a day as compared to non-smokers who lost an average of 1.3 teeth every 10 years. (Agd.org)
